#698 - Chapter 698: Cooperation is going smoothly?
Gannan Province.
Nanyang University.
After the Green Origin aerial forces cleared the area, most of the zombies that were hiding here were eliminated. The remaining ones either hid deeper or were temporarily trapped inside buildings.
Team Leader Li quickly landed the airship and dispatched his team members into five-person squads to search the university.
According to the previous information, the items they needed were most likely stored in places such as teaching buildings, archives, leadership offices, or laboratories.
The twenty-plus people from Green Origin were divided into four groups to search these locations separately.
Standing in front of a certain building, Liu Qing skillfully opened the reconnaissance drone he carried with him to conduct a simple reconnaissance of the area inside.
The control device in his hand was transmitting the images captured by the drone flying into the building in real-time.
"Captain, no zombies are visible within the field of vision. We can go in!"
After completing a simple internal reconnaissance, he confirmed and said to the captain behind him.
Li Bowen nodded, made a gesture, and led the remaining three team members inside.
Only Liu Qing was left outside to continue monitoring the overall situation.
They were already very familiar with this kind of search work.
Ordinary zombies were unlikely to pose a major problem in front of them, who had experienced many battles. The focus was on the elusive mutated zombies.
The Green Origin combat team had not been without casualties.
On two occasions, they encountered mutated zombies while carrying out missions outside, resulting in the loss of several external team members.
Encountering those monsters in an indoor environment was too dangerous.
Therefore, even with the current strength of the combat team, they couldn't guarantee that they could safely exit the building every time they entered.
"Same as always, triangular formation advance!"
Li Bowen didn't feel much fear about this. Having been immersed in combat for a long time, he was used to this atmosphere.
If there were difficulties, he would solve them.
Similar to Team Leader Li's group, the Green Origin squads that came to Nanyang University this time went to their respective locations to search for things.
The communication between everyone would not be interrupted. Once any danger was encountered, other squads would immediately go to support if conditions permitted.
And don't forget the existence of the airship above. There were still several team members on it who could carry out aerial support and landing assistance at any time.
Several squads were clearing specific areas at their own pace.
Nanyang University Shelter.
After contacting the survivors here, Zhou Xin strongly demanded that the other party cooperate with her search work, and "luckily" obtained their assistance.
Who could say otherwise?
Not long after she explained the purpose of her visit, Xie Yuankai agreed to their request and asked the students present to identify the materials they wanted.
As expected, some of the materials they were looking for this time were stored in these buildings!
"Come with me. The things you want are on the sixth floor of Building C, which is specially used to store important documents. The school leaders never allowed us ordinary students to enter before. Only occasionally when a tutor needed to teach a class were they allowed to apply for use."
In the corridor of the teaching building, several male students who looked like students politely introduced the situation here to Zhou Xin.
The people in this shelter were very cooperative, not only did they not make things difficult, but they also followed them throughout the entire process.
They had encountered many survivor gathering places when performing tasks before, but it was relatively rare to see one of this scale that was so cooperative.
After the Green Origin team members were surprised, they decided to go to the location they mentioned to take a look.
The airship above, having received the news of their assistance, was hovering in the sky, and Team Leader Li and the others knew that some progress had been made here and could provide support at any time.
Leaving two people to guard the entrance of this shelter, Zhou Xin led the other two team members to the archive room mentioned by the other party.
Walking in the corridor of this teaching building, a feeling of silence came over them.
There was a lot of debris on the ground, and occasionally they could see traces of blood moving.
Seeming to see the armed personnel following them frown, Xie Yuankai quickly explained:
"Please don't mind! Our place is a bit dirty. There were several incidents of internal personnel mutating into zombies a few days ago. We spent a lot of effort to eliminate them, and these places haven't had time to be cleaned up yet."
Zhou Xin and the others just nodded upon hearing this, signaling them to continue leading the way.
This was close to the possibility they had imagined before. It seemed that there had indeed been chaos here.
The group continued to walk towards their destination, and soon arrived outside a room with a sign that read "Archive Room".
"This is it. The things you need are inside."
Xie Yuankai said politely to the group and reached out to open the door here.
No abnormalities appeared.
The group, who had been mentally prepared, breathed a slight sigh of relief. Zhou Xin signaled one of the team members to enter with the other party.
Inside was a spacious room with many shelves. It seemed that because these materials were not very useful to the survivors in the apocalypse, they had been placed here and no one had paid attention to them.
"Don't look at us like that. It was actually quite a coincidence. During the cold disaster last year, we relied on burning wooden tables and benches to get through it. If we were to encounter cold weather again this year, these materials would have been destroyed as well. We almost couldn't lead you here."
Xie Yuankai looked embarrassed, as if he had really done something wrong, and took the initiative to admit that they almost destroyed the things the armed personnel needed.
"......"
Zhou Xin and the others were relieved.
This situation had actually been discussed during the base's usual meetings. With the continuation of the apocalypse, many valuable materials were no more useful to the survivors outside than toilet paper.
It was very likely that these valuable materials would be destroyed one after another as the apocalypse deepened.
That's why Green Origin opened up the entire Guangnan Province's material trading and exchange, striving to collect many human crystals that were not currently useful, but might change the world pattern in the future.
The team member who followed the people from the Nanyang University Shelter inside came out not long after and explained the situation to the group. There were indeed many materials inside that they needed to find this time!
"Start moving them!"
After confirming, Zhou Xin didn't delay any longer and ordered the team members and the Nanyang University personnel to help move them outside to wait for the airship to load the goods!
Very smoothly!
Everyone was in a good mood. When carrying out tasks, they were most afraid of encountering special mutated zombies, and also of returning without success.
Fortunately, the survivor settlement they chose had the things they needed, and the mission this time was guaranteed!
Seeing the satisfied expressions on the faces of these armed personnel, Xie Yuankai very cooperatively directed his people to help move all the materials they needed down.
In just over ten minutes, two to three hundred pounds of various paper materials and hard drives were piled up on the first floor!
"Thank you. Our people will come over to take these things away later, and will give you some supplies as a reward for helping us!"
Zhou Xin said to these cooperative student survivors in a good mood.
Looking at these young faces, there may be many talents among them.
When the captain comes over later, he may also select some people to take back to Green Origin headquarters to enrich the base's foundation.
The people in the Nanyang University Shelter all smiled upon hearing this.
Especially Xie Yuankai.
His smile was even brighter.
